People-pleasing leaves you feeling anxious, lonely and resentful. You desire safety and connection with yourself and others but give your time and energy away for free, hoping people see your worth. Fear of rejection prevents you from voicing needs and boundaries necessary to create lasting relationships. That said, you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to no longer appease others in hopes they will like you. You’re ready to feel grounded and safe, and therefore feel less anxious and show up more authentically in relationships. Most of all, you’re ready to have the freedom to be yourself and not live for everyone else.
I specialize in working with chronic people-pleasers who may also struggle with ADHD, body shame, or self-doubt. Clients come to me wanting a therapist who can be human with them, who can offer safety, compassion and accountability. Therapy should be a space where you can show up as yourself, say the weird things, and feel your feelings without judgment.
As a fellow recovering people-pleaser, I believe that you can find a way to alleviate anxiety, set relationship boundaries, and prioritize yourself guilt-free. You don't have to continue minimizing your needs or playing small to appease others. Book a free consultation on my website and I'll tell you exactly why you're already good enough.
